I'm not sure if I'm understanding what you want to power, the gauges or the aux fuses, by hooking up to the gas gauge vibrator.  But if you plan to feed the aux fuse box, I agree with Bob.  Depending on what else you hook up the the fuse box (now or in the future), you'll need a heavier wire for the feed.  It is really easy to run one from the battery.  Here is how I did mine:

> Thanks to help from list member Jamie, I have hooked up an auxiliary fuse panel for my gauges etc, and it has a common feed to 6 fused circuits.  Jamie sent me a pix of a wire connector that turns a single male tab connector into a double tab.  All good, but I have my instument panel detached, and Jamie or someone else, mentioned to use the feed to the gas gauge vibrator as a pickup point to use this new tab.  After reading Bently schematics for wiring, cannot decipher which wire tab to tap into, the red wire tab on back of exciter, or the brown with white stripe that runs to tab, under nut just above the vibrator?

personally I wouldn't use the guage as a source for the tap as it IMO 
isn't a large enough wire for the amount of juice you may draw, also the 
guage is kinda sensitive to the voltage variations etc.

in any case no matter what you do "TAKE LOTS OF PHOTOS" of what you do and 
keep them with your Bentley so you can refer to it later.
